Now I am warming to the concept.

The most important new idea for me was to see funereal art as the post mortem branding of a person's importance.

In America and Taiwan (where I now live), heraldic devices as such are not used, but there is still a desire to identify buildings with their owners, so one often see heraldic devices that are either obsolete or even fake. Also, buildings can be given names, which serves much the same purpose. In Taiwan, the names are often built into the gables or crests of old buildings, which makes research and identification that much easier and more rewarding.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
